Awang Azman Pawi accuses the youth wing of being passive in the recent election campaign, in which Umno suffered major losses.
PETALING JAYA: Umno Youth should have been more active in the run-up to the recently concluded state elections, an analyst said after the wing called for changes in the party following its dismal performance in the elections.
“Now when they no longer have power, they don’t seem to be helping the party much. But when the party loses, they are the first ones to pressure the leadership with various demands,” he said. Akmal said if the party remained passive, Umno would be “buried” in the next general election. While he did not specify what changes that should be made, several prominent members have called for party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to step down from his post.
Umno failed to attract the Malay voters, even though they are supposed to be the ones fighting for the Malays, he noted.
